MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611070152 A) filed by Noida International University on June 04, 2026, for Ai System For Automated Library Collection Development Policy Formulation.
Inventors include Shiv Kumar; and Rahul Kumar Singh.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to an artificial intelligence-based system for automated formulation and revision of library collection development policies. Libraries commonly revise such policies manually, and revision frequency may differ between institutions, causing inconsistent updating of collections. The system analyses user needs, institutional academic programmes, existing holdings, usage patterns, budget information, and emerging subject trends. It includes a collection data analysis module, user-need prediction module, policy-generation engine, budget-mapping module, and revision scheduling module. The system generates subject-wise collection strength and weakness profiles, maps programme-wise book and journal requirements, identifies outdated and underused resources, and issues annual, biannual, or need-based revision alerts. The system is useful for academic, research, and institutional libraries requiring structured and data-driven collection development policy formulation.
